Lightly Padded Underwired Strappy Top by Bravissimo

Shoestring straps used to be a real challenge for Bravissimo girls, especially when trying to find the right compromise between bra support and having those pesky bra straps on show! Not any more! We’ve worked hard to design a solution that is not only comfortable and supportive, but also provides customers with an array of colours and styles to choose from.

Reviews for this colour

I have just received this top by post and tried it on immediately. Putting it on was easy - same system as with all my other bras (i.e. inside out and rotated so that I can tie the clasps in front, than rotate back and turn outside out). And I truly love it, it's even better than on the pics. I regret all those years I spent telling myself that I didn't need one ("invisible" straps were OK, right?). Before the summer arrives, I will probably start wearing it as lounge top, it's just so comfortable. The cut of the top is a bit looser around my waist, but then that's the downsize of having the perfect hour-glass figure so I am not complaining:-) The hooks were OK, too - I could start with the end one. Thank you, Bravissimo, you rock!

I tried on this gorgeous striped version hoping against hope that it would be small enough in the band. But I had to fasten it on the smallest hook and it was still moving around. So, yet another summer of no strappy tops because the band sizing is off. I am always a 30 back but would need a 28 in these. The cup size was perfect. PLEASE make these in a 28! The ones I have from years ago (30DD and 30E) are so much smaller in the back and fit fine, but they are so worn now that I can only really wear them around the home. Very disappointed....

I had a few of these over the years and despite the fact that they do "work", in my opinion:
1) they should come in two lengths, as this is a wardrobe staple which many women would like to wear. Being 5´3", the 60cm length is far too long for me.
2) in the past the pastel/white coloured ones proved to be too transparent.
3) they are a bit too narrow.
4) when will they come in a 28" band, Bravissimo???
5) when will the strapless version in summer colours like fuchsia be back?
6) the cups should be bigger; being a 28H and trying on a 30G you think it must fit, but the cups were way too small

Bravissimo customer services: Hi there, thank you for your feedback. I am sorry that we do not stock two lengths in the strappy tops. Because of the number of sizes we currently cater for, if we were to include a petite and tall range then this would mean developing 78 different sizes. We need to put a lot of time and work into our range to ensure the sizing is accurate and the look of the garment is consistent across the range and, unfortunately, we are unable to offer these sizes at present.
In regards to introducing 28 backs and strapless style, I would like to assure you that I will forward your request to our product team. They monitor all customer comments closely and act on suggestions where possible.
I hope this helps, however, if there is anything else we can help you with then please do let us know.

this doesn't fit well at all - if you don't wear a bra it doesn't support well and the extra padding provides no purpose other than to make boobs look bulky and, therefore, even bigger. The straps are too thin to provide the support that us booby ladies need. Very disappointing design, bravisimo - completely thoughtless, back to the drawing board!!

Recently I bought Panache's Strappy Bra Cami (OV15) and fell in love. They are tough to find so when I found Bravissimo's tops, they were so similar I gave them a try. I tried the blue one first (unfortunately there were deodorant stains on it) and the fit was not good. The straps weren't sturdy, the stomach area was baggy and it was rather short (I'm 5'5 and 135lbs). This tank top made me look big. The thing I hated the most were the seams across the cups. They're very noticeable and clearly show through the shirt, especially on the red/white striped one. Panache's version of this shirt is MUCH better; in quality and fit. This may work for different body types but I highly suggest trying Panache's cami first. Returned both tops.

I have bought 5 Lightly padded underwired strappy tops, over the years I first bought one about 18years ago. The keep there colour if that's what you buy, and the white ones I am just purchasing a new one to replace the one I bought over ten years ago.
I find it pays to spend a little more and you get value for money.

I have often seen these strappy tops when I've been in store before so with a summer holiday just booked thought I would try one on. I am size 32H in the Bravissimo 'Alana' balconette bra (of which I have in 3 colours!) but had to come down in size to 32G in the top. It fits me perfectly, I love the stretchy material and it is a lovely length as I don't like tops too short. When I got home I was so pleased with it that I went online and ordered the red and aqua colours in the sale, they have just arrived today and they both fit as good as the black one. Can't wait to be able to wear them and not have bra straps showing.
